Counties We Serve
916 Trees works across four Northern California counties — each with its own tree canopy, permit rules, and terrain. Start with your county below.
Tree Service in Sacramento County, CA
Tree work in Sacramento County ranges from removing aging valley oaks in East Sacramento to grinding stumps on new-build lots in Elk Grove. The City of Sacramento protects Heritage Trees under City Code Ch. 12.56 and regulates street trees that front private lots. Sacramento County has a separate native oak ordinance covering unincorporated areas. Knowing whether your property falls under city, county, or special-district jurisdiction determines what permits run before any saw does.
Tree Service in Placer County, CA
Placer County spans flat valley suburbia in Roseville and Rocklin and rises through the oak-woodland foothills to ponderosa pine country near Auburn and Colfax. Tree work changes dramatically with elevation: PG&E line clearance is a constant in the lower valley, while defensible space fuel reduction under PRC 4291 becomes the central job in foothill communities that sit in CAL FIRE State Responsibility Areas. Knowing which zone you're in — and what the terrain and fire-risk rules require — is the starting point for any Placer County tree job.
Tree Service in El Dorado County, CA
El Dorado County runs from the Sacramento Valley edge at El Dorado Hills up through Placerville and into Pollock Pines and the high Sierra. Much of the county is in a CAL FIRE State Responsibility Area with serious wildfire exposure — defensible space fuel reduction under PRC 4291 is the central tree-work issue here. The terrain is steep, soils are rocky in many areas, and bark-beetle pine mortality has left dead-standing trees on properties throughout the foothill and mountain communities. Every tree job in El Dorado County starts with understanding the slope, the access, and the fire-risk zone.
Tree Service in Yolo County, CA
Yolo County is flat valley floor — Sacramento River bottomland, Yolo Bypass floodplain, and agricultural land stretching west and north from the river. Tree work here is decidedly valley work: heavy clay soils, no CAL FIRE defensible space obligations, and a strong urban forest tradition in Davis. The City of Davis has an active street-tree program and requires permits for street and certain private trees. West Sacramento and Woodland have their own municipal rules. No foothills, no steep slopes — but clay soils, drainage conditions, and city tree protections shape every job.
